Fantastic result with a tiny sprinkling of first 11 players, a very healthy serving of second 11 players and a dash of third 11 players.

What a squad 👍👍👍👍.

Alright 62, hope you're good mate. Completely agree, we have an abundance of 1st team players for a squad. n the cubs are worthy of spots too, Max was outstanding yet again he's something special that kid and a big shout out for Salmon as well, some potential the both of them have.


Love the way everyone's on the same Arsenal cheatsheet no difference when someone else comes in it's like for like.
What a team, what a club! ❤️🤍.

How did Vic play?

Great seeing Max score.

Just read "When Gyokeres struggled to settle in this side for large periods of last season, the generous argument in his favour was that Arsenal were not playing to his strengths.
On current evidence, it is hard to make a case for what those strengths would be. His touch is regularly incredibly poor and he cannot combine with team-mates in tight areas. Nor is he finding space in the box and providing those selfish striker qualities that would make up for other shortcomings.
When crosses came into the box, Gyokeres was either wrestling with a defender elsewhere or just not moving."

Was that harsh on him? Confidence must be rock bottom .

I thought Gyokeres was very poor, and that write-up is bang on and not harsh at all. That last sentence was clearly evident when Madueke attacked the byline and delivered a lovely cross which should have resulted in an easy tap-in. After, Madueke just stood there in disbelief, shaking his head. The video should be pretty easy to find online.

If Vik keeps playing like this I'd wager Arsenal will have serious internal discussions if Merino should be 2nd choice CF.

** To be fair, just saw a replay of that particular moment, and Vik did appear to hold his run as he would have clearly been offside. Credit to him there. Mea culpa.

Let's hope it's a one off and he finds his mojo as we need him and we all want him to do well - but if a worry.

I felt he was demotivated last night compared to last season. I imagine all the talk of Alvarez therefore becoming third choice hasn't helped. However he is paid handsomely and must shake any negativity and contribute. Not giving up on him yet COYG.

Makes me even happier we became champions despite our £12m centre forwards! Brilliant! Oh and we led trends last season by scoring from corners and now moved on by taking short corners and scoring from open play. Who knew? COYG

{Ed025's Note - love it SUSSEX..

14 Sep 2026 20:53:41
Watching Dominic Calvert-Lewin against Newcastle, I still think he would add to our team.

14 Sep 2026 21:12:07
Who would he replace, Sally?

{Ed025's Note - jokerez?..

14 Sep 2026 22:22:31
First it's Drossard then Martinever is it Viktor next falling for Ed025 and his nickname hex? COYG DCL no thanks.

{Ed025's Note - but im always right Sussex, i do know a lemon when i see one mate.. :)

14 Sep 2026 23:55:17
Ed025 - hope you are well. Yep, that would be for sure but I don't think he's good enough to replace Kai though. Arteta seems to be intent on not giving Vic much time this year. Hope we don't reduce his market value.

{Ed025's Note - i think him and Kai are at about the same level SY, Vic,s market value is around £12m imo mate..

13 Sep 2026 20:06:05
Does anyone think the rules have become too complicated?

When there are 5 or 6 different scenarios to decide if a player is offside it just feels wrong to me.

13 Sep 2026 21:22:53
The acronym KIS comes to mind, Sally. Keep it simple. The more complicated we make anything, then obviously the more chaos and confusion there's going to be.

14 Sep 2026 03:04:51
Enzo is offside and impacts the goalkeeper. Apology incoming.

13 Sep 2026 08:23:19
Great win yesterday in a hard place to go. Thank you Raya, who won us the game. I'm happy with the performance of the team. Got 2 more tough away matches before the international break. Let's hope we can win them coyg.

It's a really exciting time to be a gooner, Stephen, mate 👍. For the first time in many years I am actually excited about the League Cup games, as I genuinely think our squad players are so strong we could possibly win it, with them taking us all the way to the trophy itself.



I totally accept I may well be getting carried away here, and we could easily go out at Ipswich in midweek, but, with the quality we have running right through the squad this season, it's difficult not to be excited by them. 🤞🤞🤞🤞

What's the one thing you need when the best defence in the world doesn't get it 100% right 100% of the time. 🤔🤔🤔🤔

The best keeper in the world of course. 👏👏👏👏

Hard earned well deserved 3pts. I love this team and everything about them. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

13 Sep 2026 08:29:50.
I second your comments, John, mate.
Have a great Sunday.

13 Sep 2026 11:18:05
You too, Bill, mate. Up The Arsenal. 👍

Raya's distribution last night had me sighing with appreciation. Some of those driven passes, straight to the feet of Saka or Tzolis..impeccable. It's not just the saves, it's the composure and the decision-making. I think he might be better than Seaman.

12 Sep 2026 22:15:17.
That was a battle and thanks to Raya we came away with 3 key points. That 3 minute spell could be key come end of the season! Great penalty save, lovely Bruno goal and great fight from many of the boys. Well done!
